Eminem fans think they finally understand the meaning behind one of his songs, following P Diddy's arrest.
In October, Diddy was handed 50 months behind bars and ordered to pay a $500,000 fine by Judge Arun Subramanian. The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy had penned a letter to Subramanian ahead of his sentencing, branding himself a 'changed man'.
He wrote: "The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live," adding: "I no longer care about the money or the fame. There is nothing more important to me than my family."

He was acquitted of other charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.
During the allegations surrounding Diddy, Eminem's song 'Fuel' started doing the rounds on TikTok.
The lyrics in question go: "I'm like a R-A-P-E-R. Got so many S-As (huh). Wait, he didn't just spell the word, 'Rapper' and leave out a P, did he?"
Ouch.
People on TikTok are now saying that Eminem has been 'trying to tell us' all along about Diddy.
"Eminem and 50 Cent have been chasing P Diddy for years trying to tell us all," one person said.
"Eminem literally two steps ahead," wrote another. A third continued: "I feel like a lot of people don't realise that Eminem has constantly commented on how much he disliked Diddy for over the past 20 years."
"He’s been doing this almost his whole career dissing Diddy," added another.
Eminem took aim at Diddy on his song 'Antichrist' as well.
Appearing to refer to the assault allegations he was facing from his ex Cassie Ventura - with a video of him kicking her later following suit - Eminem raps: "Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did. But on the real, though. She prolly ran out the room with his f**king dildo. He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill. Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe."
Diddy issued a public apology after the disturbing hotel CCTV footage from 2016 was released to the public.
"I hit rock bottom," he said in a video posted online.
"But I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I'm disgusted."
